Hello All
My name is Gary and I live in South Wales over here in the UK, I have recently sold my'65 912 after 4 years of restoration and got my hands on a nice 914, i've got to say it may even handle better than my old 912 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Heres my car from the other weekend when a few of us went out for a sunday drive (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net-12030-1285169870.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net-12030-1285169871.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net-12030-1285169872.3.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net-12030-1285169873.4.jpg) I have riviera's with 185-55's on the 914 and they are real close to the rear arch. Im looking at getting some better offset rims, so i can get a bigger tyre on like a 205-50 maybe, any one know what rims have a decent offset ? 2.0 fuch ? cheers Gary |

Cheers guys
I want to get some more grip and the car does sit a bit low with the 185-55's on it, but the riviera's wont let me go any wider with the offset, So maybe I could use a 195-65 instead of the 205, this would give me a bit more ground clearence, I have been told this is a nearer size to the standard used, Cheers Gary |

I have loads of pic's i can post up if you'd like,loads of the build up and the welding to the hell hole. The car is a '75 but some one has put fibreglass GT style bumpers on it, It did have a 2.0 litre in it but it had been seized when i got the car, Now it has a 1.7 with 44IDF's on it that i borowed from i friend to get it going, I think they are way to big, but i have some 40 IDF's on there way. I am planning on a bigger engine and Im slowly gather the parts together. I will dig out so,me more pic's later |

Looks like a great car to start working on while you enjoy driving it. Beware of the jackstands. If you let the car too close to them it will jump on and refuse to come off

Nice car!! Yes, the OEM 2.0 FUCHS, Pedrinis, or Mahles should fit up to a 205 if I remember correctly.
